Rovent 2005

SO last weekend I went to a Rover Moot a shor distance into BC's interior in a place acalled Manning Park, 1 hour from Hope along HWY 3. It was an awesome camp. Rovers out here know how to party almost as well as back east. I hadent been winter camping in many years so it was a fun experiance to go again. My new 4 season tent was amazing. The full fly and douple wall kept us warmer than i thought a tent could. I had always build shelters for winter camps in the past but the tent worked almost as well. We had periodic problems with our water freezing but we lasted the weekend with a bit left so it was not so bad. We also had a large tent with a heater to keep us warm and prevent our food from freezing to or plates.

During the saturday we ran an obstical course. People had to make their way blindfolded through a rope course, over a cargo net and through a snow maze. The snow maze was perhaps a bit too dificult to do blindfolded. we had a 10 min difference betweent he best and worst times dew to people taking wrong turns and back tracking.

The Dance saturday night was one of the coolest ive ever been to. By that i mean it was outside in a snow storm. The falling snow was illuminated by the spotlights so it looked like it was only snowing above the crowed and stage. Everybody was huddeled close together for warmth. The party broak up at around 1:00, but i ended up heading back to camp about a half hour before that for some cheesecake.

The drive home was long and it was not made any better by the fack that i was very tired. Several Timmy stops where made along the way. I think i drak more tim hortans coffee thiat weekend then in the last 2 months.

All of us on the cargo net of our obstical course. The photo was taken by a passing rover that obviously set the camera to focus on the rope instead of us.

My Improved website

As you can see from my poasts lately, World of Wracraft has been taking up much of my time. In an attempt to get back to regular blogging hear is my latest poast.

I have been taking a web design class in an attempt to learn how to make my own beb site. The site which has been up for a while is still fairly rudimentary. I have been steadily adding new options in an attempt to improve it. The current design may not look to much different form the old one but there is a significant improvement, Now it uses a style sheet.

For those of you who dont know, Style sheets are a way to format your web pages appearance. In a seperate file you declare how you want the page to look. You set a common design for fonts, tables, titles margins ext so that every page you have looks the same without haveing to write detailed code for every page. If you want to change the text colour for the links in evey page of a website you simpley change one line in the style sheet instead of every link in every page. The html code now only contains the content of the page, no reference is made to formatting and appearance.

I am going to make a copy of my website without the inclusion of the style sheet so you can see what it does.

Here is my page to take a look

Next modification will be the addition of a photo album
